times to reduce fuel consumption and provide superior mixing. Achieving a quality asphalt pavement requires mixing materials correctly, with consideration given to providing sufficient time for blending. The superheated virgin materials must have adequate mixing time with the recycled asphalt to bring it to temperature. The virgin aggregate, recycled asphalt and shingles, additives, baghouse fines and virgin liquid AC must all be blended thoroughly to ensure everything is well
coated and the gradation is uniform. The mixing chamber in the UniDrum mixer is an excellent mechanism to ensure adequate blending to achieve a quality mix.
